Top public health officials testified before the Senate Health Committee on preparing for future emergencies. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky warned about the implications of the COVID-19 public health emergency ending on May 11, such as the CDC not being able to collect data and share information in the way it previously did at the height of the pandemic. Also, Health and Human Services official Dawn O’Connell reported organizational improvements were made in her agency, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf discussed lessons learned from COVID-19. In a second panel, professors and advocates also gave their recommendations for preparedness, which included ensuring that Americans have equitable access to health care. close
